I am four months pregnant and have been diagnosed with high blood pressure. My doctor has prescribed Ecospirin 75 to be taken until the 28th week of pregnancy, and Strone 100 mg to be taken twice daily. Are these medications safe to take during pregnancy?
Yes, both medications are safe and routinely prescribed during pregnancy under medical supervision. Low-dose aspirin (75 mg) is standardly used to prevent complications like preeclampsia (pregnancy-induced high blood pressure) and is safe to take up to the 28th week. Progesterone (100 mg) is a natural hormone prescribed to support your pregnancy and prevent complications. These medications are carefully chosen to protect both you and your baby. Please continue taking them exactly as directed by your obstetrician, and do not hesitate to discuss any concerns during your next prenatal visit.
